Although he was his father, Salvatore always felt slightly nervous when he had to talk to stefano. The man was just intimidating, and made Sal feel self-conscious about everything he did. It wasn’t just paranoia, since he knew he was always being watched and being judged. “Yea, it’s business related, so I figured I’d talk to you about it.” he retorted, and sat down on the seat opposite of his father. “It’s about the restaurant. I’ve been getting some complaints about the food. The vegetables.” a blatant lie, but he had to do something to make sure Phoenix wouldn’t set foot into the restaurant anymore. “I think we need to terminate this contract that we have with those tree elfs and fast.”

It being the middle of the afternoon, Stefano decided he wanted to take his day a little bit easier. So, he made his way to Belvedere and asked for his table; his usual one. It was in the back, private, where he could just sit and not have to worry about the mass of people going in and out of the place. He had just finished his lunch, he was sat there sipping and espresso and reading the paper he had one of the waitresses bring him, when he heard footsteps approaching. He looked up, expecting to see one of the girls that were waiting him, but when he saw someone else he raised an eyebrow. “Is there a reason you’re bothering me right now?” he asked, looking the person over.

bodhi-mcalister:

“The difference between me and them is that I’m not afraid of you,” he said with a challenging tone. Bodhi admittedly was afraid of Sal and his father when they first infiltrated the restaurant, but that seemed so far in the past. “My parents still own half of this shitty place, so you can’t just fire me,” he mumbled. Bodhi shook his head and handed the money back to him “I don’t want your money. I don’t like owing people things. I don’t want to be my parents,” he explained. Bodhi nodded at Sal’s concerns. They were completely valid and he understood where he was coming from, “Just because it has to be a secret, doesn’t make it any less hard. You don’t think I want to be able to hold your hand in public? Or kiss you and not worry about other people seeing, your father seeing? I want that more than anything I’ve ever wanted in this world, but I know I can’t be selfish. We’ll keep pretending for as long as we can because I care about you and Phoenix more than my own life.”

“That may be true, but I wouldn’t push my luck too much if I were you.” he warned him. Not like Sal would do anything to Bodhi, but his father was a whole different story. A deep frown etched into his features when his boyfriend rejected the money. “Is that what you think this is? Me doing to you what my father did to your parents?” he asked, narrowing his eyes. “I was only trying to help you out. Fine, whatever then.” Angrily, he put the money back into his wallet and shoved it into his pocket, not even trying to hide anymore that he was pissed off. “The only way this is going to work is if it remains a secret. Once the secret is out then it will be all over. You realize that, right?” he reminded Bodhi, breathing out a heavy sigh. “And please don’t say shit like that around me.”

Wesley rolled his eyes once more. “Right, sorry, waiter.” he corrected himself, moving so he could sit besides the other and wrap an arm around him; pulling him close for a half of a hug. “I’ve been…. okay. I guess. I’m glad to see you’re doing well, though. I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever! And I’ve totally missed you, you know. What have you been busy with?” he said, dropping his arm from the male and looking up at him to give him another sweet smile. Salvatore’s comment almost embarrassed Wesley, but the blond shook it off quickly. Wanting to prove a bit of a point, Wesley shrugged. “I came in to see if you guys had anything good on the menu, actually. Though I think I’m gonna pass on ordering anything, now that I think about it.”

“Not a waiter either, but feel free try again.” he retorted, letting Wesley pull him into a hug. “It has been a while, hasn’t it? Time flies, cliche as that sounds.” he spoke, glancing around the room to see if anyone was watching them. “Work, mostly. My father.. needed me here, so after I got my degree, I moved back to Spring Lake. Been running the restaurant ever since.” he explained, before taking a sip from his cappuccino. “What about you? I didn’t expect you would ever move back here, to be honest.” he asked curiously. Wesley never struck him as the type of guy that would settle in the small beach town they both grew up in. Giving the younger male a puzzled look, he told him, “But we have plenty of good food? The waitress will be with you in a second. Don’t worry, it’s just a busy night.”

“Okay.” He said. “I’m planning on it, I don’t know what he’s going to say. Maybe I’ll invest it other ways.” He said kissing his boyfriend. “Look, just promise you’ll spend more time with us.” He said wrapping his arms around Sal. Moving his hands down his back. “Look after yourself, I don’t want you getting hurt. I’d kill for you, so you better make sure you don’t get hurt.” He said holding Sal’s face as he kissed him deep.

“Don’t bother. There’s no need to tell him, right? Since we decided that it’s not happening.” Salvatore reminded him, lifting his hand to cup Phoenix’s cheek. “I don’t know how much money you won, but you could also consider starting your own company. I can help you with that for free.” He offered, giving his boyfriend a small smile. However, Phoenix’s next words made Salvatore wince. “Don’t.. Don’t joke about that shit.” he chided, squinting his eyes. “Look, can we please just change the topic of this conv-”, before Sal could finish his sentence, Phoenix’s lips were pressed against his again, and he parted his lips slightly when he felt his tongue run against the seam of his lips, allowing Phoenix to deepen their kiss. As their tongues entwined and massaged each other, Sal fluttered his eyes closed and wrapped his arms around the other male’s waist to pull him closer to him, until he finally broke off their kiss. “..Or we could do that.” he breathed softly against Phoenix’s lips.

    Taking her brother’s sarcastic reply and eye roll as cues, Theresa dropped the topic. She was surprised to hear their younger sister’s name being brought up. “Why does Pixie worry about me?” She asked, still a little confused.

“Because you’re gone every night and barely spend any time at home.” he said in a matter-of-fact tone, drumming his fingers impatiently on the table. His sister was playing stupid with him and it was getting on his nerves, mostly because he was worried about her as well. “Why can’t you just answer my question, Tess?”

‘ i’m not going to be apologetic for working hard. ’ she said simply and she truly believed it - no-one forced girls to sign up for cheer, if they signed up they knew they’d be worked hard and continue to be the best. she also found it pointless to talk to her brother, he made it clear he didn’t even want her here and now he presumed to know things about her despite her barely speaking at home. he did not know her. no-one at home did. ‘ thanks though, sal. i’ll take it on board. ’

“I never said you had to apologize for that, Pix.” Sal retorted, giving her a small smile. “I’ll see you around then. Give mom a hug for me, okay? I’ll come over for dinner soon.”

“I just wanted something.” He said softly. “Investing in this place, I could be with you and bodhi, if I invest in something else, we’re not going to spend hardly any time with each other.” He said he held onto his boyfriends hands and swallowed. “I won’t invest if you promise to spend more time with us, Bodhi is coming to stay with me for a while until he gets another place, you could always come with? Come live with us at the farm?” He said kissing his boyfriend, running his hands down his abs.

“And I get that, but it’s still not happening.” he repeated himself, pursing his lips. “Have you talked to Bodhi about this? That you want to invest in this place?” Sal asked, a deep frown etching into his features, silently praying that this crazy idea was just something Phoenix had decided by himself. “You know I can’t do that. And I think I spend plenty of time with you, but I also have a job, Phoenix. I have a life where you thankfully aren’t a part of. I really need you to understand that or else this isn’t going to work.” he stated, closing his eyes when Phoenix captured his mouth with his lips once again.

Nix was a bit pissed he was pushed by his boyfriend. He understood where he was coming from. “This is my money, Sal.” He said. “I’m going to invest in a lot of places, I want this money to last us for the rest of our lives.” He said looking into his boyfriends eyes. “Apart from the farm, I have nothing. You have this, it’s thriving, there are constantly people here. It’s perfect. A steady income. I can help to fund refurbishments, better equipment.” He said he had a business plan for Sal’s father. “This is business, not personal.” He said. “I love you so much, why can’t you just support me?” He said. “It’s not like I’m doing anything wrong.” He said.

Salvatore had to remind himself that Phoenix was too innocent and naive to realize what he was  talking about, but his words made his blood boil nonetheless. “Yea, it’s thriving alright. Thriving on blood money.” he stated coldly. Although he would have loved to elaborate to scare Phoenix off, he knew there were certain things he could never share with anyone that wasn’t part of the family, because it was simply too risky. “Look at me, Nix. Do you really think I want any of this? Honestly, if I didn’t care about you as much as I do, I would have loved to trade with you and live a simple life on a farm instead.” he continued, before exhaling deeply. “You’re right, it is business. But when you’re involved, it becomes personal to me. I don’t want you here, not as a business partner, not even as a guest.” he told him firmly, swallowing hard when the younger male told him he loved him. “Yea, I know you do. It’s not happening.”

Nix listened to his boyfriend. “Okay, well, I need to tell you something.” He said holding onto his boyfriend. “Last year, I won the lottery.” He said really quickly. He said holding onto Sal, rubbing his back. “I want to invest in the restaurant.” He said softly waiting for his boyfriend to get angry. He knew how dangerous the family could be and he knew Sal wouldn’t hit him, but this was a big surprise and he didn’t know what would happen. “I know your family can look after money. I’m happy to invest some of it into the business that’s why I’m here.” He said. “I’m only telling you and Bodhi about my win, don’t tell anyone else.” He said kissing his boyfriends neck to try and distract him.

Just as Sal was about to congratulate his boyfriend with his win, the other male continued speaking again, telling him something that made him feel sick through his stomach. “No!” he scowled, his eyes darkening. “You don’t know anything about my family. You don’t- Stop!” He pushed Phoenix away from him as soon as the brunet started kissing his neck. “I mean it, Phoenix. You’re not investing a dime into this hellhole, and you’re staying the hell away from my family. Capisce? Invest your money elsewhere. Go on a trip around the world. Buy yourself a house, a car, a helicopter for all I care. Do whatever you want with it, but you’re not going to use it to do business with my father.”

Phoenix was purely crying now, sobbing quietly trying to hide it away from everyone else in the building, he luckily had his back to everyone. “I understand Mr. Forgione.” He said listening to the rest of his words. “Of course, sir.” He said following his boyfriend back to the office. He was mostly faking the crying, but he realised while crying the reason it was so easy was because part of it was real, he was upset, although the way his boyfriend spoke to him turned him on most of the time, especially in front of a crowd it made him feel weak. Not to mention when Nix tells his boyfriend what he’s really doing he is afraid of what could happen. Nix closed the office door behind him and pulled the blind down so no one could see in, and he turned the lock to lock them in the room. He let out a sigh of relief when they were alone and walked over to his boyfriend kissing him with his tear filled lips.

Sal was glad to leave the dining room for a bit, and having to take care of business was the perfect excuse to do that. However, it didn’t exactly felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, because he still had some questions for his boyfriend, and he wasn’t sure if he would like the answers to them. "Phoenix..” he started, breathing out a sigh as the younger male locked the door behind them. “What the hell was that all about? And don’t tell me its really about vegetables, because I don’t-” his sentence was cut off by Phoenix pressing his lips again’s his, and although he was caught of guard, Sal kissed him back and wrapped his arms tightly around his waist. But as much as he enjoyed kissing his boyfriend, he couldn’t help but feel like this might be his way of distracting him from what happened, and although he did manage to do just that for a few seconds, Salvatore had dealt with too much bullshit in his life to not be a little suspicious. “Hey, don’t cry. I’m not mad, and I know I might have gone a little overboard in there just now, and I’m sorry for that, but I’m really not mad at you. I just wanna know what’s going on, okay?” he assured him after he pulled away from him again.

    “I can see,” Theresa looked around the busy restaurant. If anyone could handle the madness of it all, it was Salvatore. He had to; in the future, he would deal with far worse. “Dad’s friends seem very content,” she pointed out. At her brother’s question, her expression turned puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“Oh? Well I’m delighted that they are having such a jolly good time.” he replied sarcastically, unable to refrain from rolling his eyes. “I don’t know? You tell me.” he leaned his elbows on the table and narrowed his eyes at her. “What’s been going on with you, Theresa? Pixie worries about you.”

‘ you don’t know how i am with them, i push them hard because we have a reputation of being the best. ’ she shrugged. ‘ leaders push people to their limits sometimes, you need to see people’s passion and want for things if you’re going to excel. ’ she explained. ‘ i don’t know but i can go if you like. ’

“I know what you’ve told me. That you push them so hard that they don’t even wanna hang out with you after school. Knowing when to push and when to hold back is also part of being a good leader.” Sal pointed out. “You can’t force passion onto someone. It’s either there or it isn’t.” Deep down inside he knew this was a pointless discussion, because his little sister had always been far too hardheaded to take any of his advice, but somehow he still felt the need to try it.
